This could be allergy related, a bacterial or fungal or parasitic infection. You will need to take your dog to a vet for a skin exam. The vet may want to do a skin scrape or swab to facilitate diagnosis. Each of these conditions require a different treatment, so the correct diagnosis is vital before treatment.
